Haley Joel Osment didn't "fall from favor" his parents decided he should go to school and be a normal kid rather than let him spiral out of control when he got too old to play cute little kids as other child actors that had gone on before had done.

When the Harry Potter machine was ramping up Spielberg was a possible director. He wanted HJO to be Harry, but Rowling insisted on an all English cast. As good as Radcliffe was, I wonder how it would have been with Osment on board.

Well someone better tell them what his younger sister has been doing with her time, dontcha think?

Hands up who didn't fall for little Jonathan Lipnicki's charms in Jerry Maguire?

*Raising my hand*

Seriously.....that movie sucks. You have this who has a job most guys would kill for, and he becomes an emo douche and gets fired for being an idiot and putting out a silly memo. I was rooting for Jay Mohr though the whole movie.

In 2011 she won the U.G.L.Y. Celebrity of the Year award, but I don't think she's that bad looking.

Also, HJO has been doing voice over work for the past 8 years or so. He's probably raking in lots of cash as Sora from the Kingdom Hearts series.

Uh...I think you missed my point, but ok.

Do you normally come by to shiat one someone's parade when they're supporting your case? I obviously DIDN'T miss your point, since I'm qualifying your snark against Lord_Dubu by showing that he was still working in the entertainment industry. And besides, my comment was mostly for the joke about EJO being an U.G.L.Y. Celebrity.

The Why Not Guy:Um, yeah because he'll be forgotten just like everyone else who dies young. He'll join James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Jim Morrisson as obscure footnotes in entertainment history.

Honestly dying young preserves (or even creates) a legacy. If Chevy Chase had died instead of Belushi he would be revered now. He's still remembered, but not with the same OMG-type respect of Belushi. Same with Cobain and now Winehouse. If they had survived they might have continued, or they might have dropped off the face of the earth. Since they died they are seen as (in many cases) more talented or important than they actually were.
